E-Mail Power User

You get so much e-mail you're convinced there must be an entire data center dedicated to processing your inbox in the cloud. Except it still all fits on a 32GB USB stick... maybe you just need Mailpile? You get all the previous perks, plus if this perk turns out to be popular, we will make sure there is a super compact, no-frills theme available for the info-junkies in the crowd.

Paranoid Android

With a brain the size of a planet, how could you not support this project? In addition to the above perks, if over 200 androids sign up, we'll make sure there is a fjord-themed background shipped with the Mailpile Alpha.

You support your ideals with actions and expect us to do the same. In addition to us making you a Community Member, one of our actions will be to mail you a postcard from Iceland, personally thanking you for your support.

Underfunded Spooks

So, you're a spook, eh? We understand that as an underfunded intelligence agency, you need help securing your e-mail. We can help. We'll give you the above perks, feature you prominently in our credits and send you a reasonably sized volcanic rock that you can throw through your own window. Spy agencies should be glass houses, right?

The Postmaster General

Our guess is, if supporting Mailpile is worth $2048 to you, then you probably move a lot of e-mail and probably not just your own. The more people go for this perk, the higher we will prioritize the multi-user stretch goal when we update our road-map after the alpha release. In addition, our designer will make a custom theme just for you. You will be prominently featured in our credits and of course receive all the previous perks!

Icelandophile

In addition to the previous perks you and your logo will be the most prominently featured in our credits. You also get a custom feature / design theme per your specs (see the FAQ for some fine print). In addition, if you fly to Iceland we'll meet with you to discuss the implementation and then take you on a road trip through the Icelandic countryside, taste fermented shark and our traditional alcohol Brennivín, whilst we talking tech, politics and security.

Pyromaniac

Same perks as the Icelandophile except you buy a flight to Iceland for New Years and we'll take care of everything else: a roof over your head, volcanos, bonfires, Icelandic Pirates, fireworks and PGP key signing. It's exactly as dangerous as it sounds, but don't worry, we'll take good care of you.

Venture Communist

As a road-raging venture communist you're going to want to access your Mailpile directly from your mobile with no questions asked. If you get this perk, we will hire an Android application developer to start binding Mailpile into a native app as soon as Mailpile's outward facing APIs are stable.
